Cash shop confirmed

[Moqi]

I doubt they'd let this game bleed money for a year before introducing a cash shop because it's not generating the revenues it should've, especially after the failure of 1.0

I support this game already with my sub. If they are not able to manage development costs with what I give them, tough luck, it's their problem, not mine. They're not entitled (look! I can use it too) to more money from me just because they can't do their job.

It takes a good amount of time to get a clear picture about whether or not a model is going to work. You need 3 quarters at a minimum, which is essentially a year. For example, I run a business and it typically takes about 3 months, or one quarter, for today's efforts to turn into revenue. In order to analyze 3 months' worth of effort, I'd have to analyze the results 6 months later. For 6 months worth of effort, I'd have to analyze it 9 months later.

My point is this is not something they could look at and decide right away. They'd have to wait a while and see how performance measured up to standards.

They're not entitled (look! I can use it too) to more money from me just because they can't do their job.

Cash shop is optional, so I'm not sure why you use the word "entitled" there. You are free to purchase optional items as you see fit. SE isn't demanding more money out of you.
